A BILL to amend and reenact §5A-3-52 of the Code of West Virginia,
1931, as amended, relating to special funds for travel
management; creating the Aviation Fund and the Fleet
Management Office Fund; the moneys in these funds do not
expire; the funds are to be used for aviation and fleet
management purposes; and costs and expenses will be borne by
the agency or department using the aviation or fleet services.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That §5A-3-52 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended,
be amended and reenacted to read as follows:

ARTICLE 3. PURCHASING DIVISION.

§5A-3-52. Special funds for travel management created.

There is hereby created in the State Treasury two special
revenue funds to be known as the “Aviation Fund” and the “Fleet
Management Office Fund”. These funds may be given appropriations as
determined by the Governor and the Legislature but shall operate as
special revenue funds. All deposits and payments into these funds
do not expire nor shall they be transferred into the General
Revenue Fund. All deposits in the funds shall remain in the
Aviation Fund and the Fleet Management Office Fund and be available
for expenditure in succeeding fiscal years. All costs and expenses
incurred pursuant to this section, including administrative, shall
be paid from those funds. All allocations of costs and charges for
operating, repairing and servicing aircraft made against any
institution, agency or department shall be paid into the Aviation
Fund by that department or agency. All allocations of costs and
charges for operating, repairing and servicing motor vehicles made
against any institution, agency or department shall be paid into
the Fleet Management Office Fund by that department or agency. All
moneys paid or transferred into these special revenue funds are
appropriated for the purpose of this section and shall be paid out
as the secretary may designate. The moneys to be transferred
include all appropriations for acquisition, maintenance, repair and
operation of motor vehicles and aircraft and for personnel. All
deposits currently in the special fund for travel management
derived from special revenue from aviation fees shall be
transferred into the Aviation Fund and all funds in the special
fund for travel management that was derived from the monthly fee
for vehicles shall be transferred into the Fleet Management Office
Fund.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to rewrite the current
section on funds for travel management. The bill creates the
Aviation Fund and the Fleet Management Office Fund. The bill
provides that the moneys in these funds do not expire and are to be
used for aviation and fleet management purposes, respectively. The
bill requires costs and expenses to be borne by the agency or
department using the aviation and fleet services.

This section has been completely rewritten; therefore,
strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.

This bill was recommended for introduction and passage during
the Regular Session of the Legislature by the Department of
Administration.
